Bailout estates in reading his campaign so it was though ... on an opportunity seen says Laszlo Monster person or that what's best in any mention you lost touch with this with the state ... is it that was the argument ... the big campaign issue was the fact that he sold his house in Indiana in nineteen seventy six ... right right I ran the giant is in line and for debt ... leading MBTA to house his own two houses so he says delivering one in Washington ... was that he ... you know the problem and added some top is the bulk of the larger problem is that we have is a very is very widely respected in Washington as somebody who is here ... um so we're serious takes on the issue is willing to work across the aisle and the reason the other side ... but ... the very conservative on many issues in the isn't very well on Saturday ... that would translate ... to ... a DNS even ... when I'm that that locks the other ... it's ... a it's ... that he was saying ... see targeted really be what were the key issues they've been fired up the Republican base to determine not office ... twenty oh seven savings they see no clarity bailout and the identity is the last is because the things he just talking about there also some of the things that we've seen other races like ... his support for the day and that our program ... on his support for not being a bikini shoot interesting Lee in an Indiana has ... the electron of the jobs of Richard Rhapsody made his mark ... on the political scene that I didn't actually aisle seat and challenge the battle plan that Chrysler see representing some state pension funds in saying that a technology that spring wares they know and and and we're not ... we're not getting as much as they should get the businesses they went into bankruptcy ... so ... that was pretty full decision but he was ... he a hero that and Dom ... and am now is that he is that wasted costly win in November ... with me to be up against the November ... we know that Congressman Joe Donnelly is that serve the moderate the Democrats on the skin representing a district in the state in the house and he even Democrats think they have a chance now the general mental is among the races and to me that it's a it's still definitely leans Republican whereas ... with Senator Graham is BC the Republican lock ... now there is an opening for that ... because of this division rap is just not in the statement appealed independent voters that included ... one in ... two thousand ate ... in Indiana ... will the tahini and into thousandeight it was a big surprise is in the Ennis Montana Republican state ... said that it shows that there was some conversation LSAT now if they become white Democrat in two thousand ten Republicans did very well ... and really give ... him a weekend talking about state muni and at this time ... the leader at the breakout of out of reach for the best in this and this election year ... Lara ... thank you so much for joining us for a story ... remove right over to another big election in Wisconsin ... there is the of course that the primary Democratic primary in the recall election Governor Scott Walker ... we got Joe Barrett in Chicago was falling this really closely ... job ... it was Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett ... one the selection yes ... the one last chance Martin ... it's interesting race because he didn't have the inside and even other regions of the one who started this whole recall meant ... when waterside is no ... law last year ... the current union ranks ... tell us a little bit about silly was a collective bargaining issue she keeps in basically curved unions ability to collectively bargain but ... and and that now that is basically coming back to haunt him is there be a ... significant chance he will be recalled waterfalls really saying ... right now it's the day he said that to outpace the southern in twenty ten election ... on water one lined up five points this time ... Baird is is full even with them and of walkers have a ton of money ... there is a little bit under finance ... and as I said he was was running against somebody who was really the union backed candidate so ... the interesting question to see how much teams get behind him I mean of course ... you know that they might write a lot of ... there they they really don't like SA water's they probably will ... you mention ... one interesting fact is in your story ... is that only four percent of voters are undecided everyone is pretty fired up about this race in Wisconsin ... yes really ... and I you know kind of exhausting her for the people there in and day it started with ... you know they they would ... know what was the lead for ... Obama then in twenty ten in both houses of the legislature switched over to the Republican side ... the governor went from a Democrat to Republican ... and then I want to push through this ... big little ... reform ... huge protests in the capital ... and labor groups and others the boomers when he gets that ... the main recall a couple of the sad state senators who ... were ... behind the union ... the anti union bill ... now there's a ... race to get water out of office ... it's been a pen and exhausting and is divisive ... situation or for a long time no joke tells little bit about what the impacts ... of ... Mr Walker's policies have been ... with Wynn on collective bargaining has the has there been really impact on ... the Wisconsin economy on deficits and state ... well interesting I mean he he did awesome but it but I'm ... Wisconsin has added up the worst on record ... partly because he's he's taking this very artsy and ... to China ... you know sort of with a pinky ring and what he considers the are too large of a government ... but you know that's not to say this they were sent on record in the country ... is his theory is that you know ... once ... businesses realize that he's staying power in these policies and stay there ... that ... job growth will pick up again and she near-term PCs in a tough position because he's running on our record it's not very good in terms of job creation is the job creation problem a result of the public sector in Wisconsin affected he's not spending government money are are are we seeing a lot of ... lost jobs and government sectors outlying employment slow yet actually that was the best parts of the ... economy right now is is in the US industry where there have been some some subgroup of the ... debate is going public sector jobs ... most most other states haven't taken such a hard stance in so that's that's one of the reasons why haven't written on ... great ... show thank you so much for joining us today we have a lot more on this on the markets up at ten thirty we have Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin to talk more about ... the recall election and of course longtime Senator Dick Lugar being ousted from office ... at the ten thirty thanks for joining us on roughly
